Minebea Intec holds a prominent position in food processing equipment manufacturing. Mr. Manas Nandi, Editor-in-Chief, Food Infotech, interacted with Mr. Mohan Bhat, Managing Director-India and Global Director R&D, Minebea Intec, and Mr. Torsten Schmitz, Director Sales X-Ray & Vision, Minebea Intec, at the event. The interview spanned across the product portfolio, sustainability, future plans, government policies, and the Indian Market. Here is a glimpse of the interview.

Of course, the government has always been pushing for quality and certain standards. But as you know, the domestic market is still an issue is with the price being one of the major things. But I think the consumer's expectations in terms of quality have also been going up. The consumer's expectations in India are as good as, I would better than, what is expected in European countries. So the need for quality, the need for accuracy, over the years has also gone up. More strict regulations in terms of meeting the standards of the weight measures are getting more relevant these days. And not just from the quality perspective, but also from the compliance. This has become a major requirement that the customers invest in the capital goods, especially for inspection. So I mean, of course, when it comes to the weighing part, of course, the customers were always investing. But when it came to the inspection, which is a dynamic check, weighing, or metal detection or vision technology, so now it is, thing, since the last three years, the requirements or the expectations from the customers are also going up. So it's an opportunity for manufacturers like us to bring in new technology into this market and serve the customers.

What are the different types of Foreign Body Detection Systems that Minebea Intec manufactures? Does it deal in a ‘Checkweighing and Metal detector’ combination system?
